Pandora's Box 4S 800

Today I want to tell you about an exciting new product I just acquired. It is the Pandora's Box 4S and it is a dream come true. It's pretty much a retro videogame console that only plays arcade games, but man, they are some of the best games ever. This isn't shovelware; these are real arcade games you used to have to shell out your hard-earned money to play in the arcade, or plunk down thousands of dollars for a full cabinet in your home. There are multiple versions of this available, but I'm going to focus on the particular one I bought.

The thing comes pre-loaded with (depending on the model you purchase) 800 or more arcade games. It has many of the greats such as the Ninja Turtles games, The Simpsons, X-Men, countless fighting games like Street Fighter, and obscure Japanese titles. If I had this as a kid, I would have literally died of joy.

However, I should mention it's not perfect. Here are the pros and cons.

Pros:

1.) 800 of the greatest arcade games ever

2.) HDMI support. You can also hook it up to your PC monitor.

3.) Uses an authentic joystick setup

4.) USB support

5.) You can create a Favorites list so you don't have to keep cycling through the massive library to find the game you want to play.

6.) The games run pretty faithfully from what I've seen so far.

Cons:

1.) The emulation isn't perfect. I've noticed some slight (and not so slight) glitches.

2.) Comes with a very cheap HDMI cable which broke the same day I set it up. You're better off using your own.

3.) The power cable comes in two pieces that don't fit very well together.

4.) The model I got has a two-player joystick board which requires you and a friend to pretty much be rubbing up against one another to play. There are other models which come with different controllers, so maybe shop around a bit.

So far, I feel the pros outweigh the cons and this thing is fantastic. I'll keep playing on it, and if my opinion changes, I'll let you know.
